Hey all,

I noticed the exhaust a little loose off the barrel and found the threads to both bolts are stripped when I tried to toghten them up. Maybe I did em up too tight a while ago It's still hanging on but will need to fix it. Anyway, the question is how? Put a helicoil in? Braize or weld a stud in? Ream out a bigger thread?.........

Personally i would helicoil or that type of thing

merv

me too, helicoil it. you need to be real careful with drilling though, I would remove the barrel myself and make up a jig so thet it could be done on a pillar drill. Doing it by hand would be much quicker though but harder to get dead straight.

Thanks for that,

Thinking helicoil. Haven't got any of the stuff to do it apart from the drill it but will check some prices.

Probably have to take the barrel to someone who can do it which is easy enough and probably not cost much.

Cheers,

Thanks again,

All sorted. Cheap re-coil kit and easy to fit. Good as new.
